  • Superb listening for anyone who loves the sport

    The passion and enthusiasm of these women for their sport shines through each episode of this podcast. They are rowers’ rowers and that’s the most brilliant thing about it; it really is blazer free “rowing for the rest of us”.

    Strong values, willingness to address the hard issues, infectious enthusiasm; what’s not to love?

Q: Rowing an ocean is definitely very different than flat water rowing, but do you feel like your previous rowing experience was an advantage for you during the crossing?
